District Overview

Flour Bluff Independent School District was established in 1892 and encompasses a 156 square mile area. The district includes the Naval Air Station, the Corpus Christi Army Depot, the Flour Bluff community and a developing resort and residential area on North Padre Island.

Six campuses and athletic facilities are located on a single 170 acre site which supports 5,600 students in prekindergarten through 12th grades. The district is extremely competitive in academic and athletic programs and has participated in the district, regional, or state competitions for many years. A list of the district accomplishments are listed on the website. The University Preparatory High School Program was launched in 2006 as part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to establish a program for high school freshman to complete two years of college credit upon completion of their high school diploma.

The Board of Trustees was selected by the Texas Association of School Administrators as the Outstanding School Board of the Year 2000, and is the only school board in Region 2 who are continually commended by State Board of Education for completing Level II and III Complete Board-Superintendent Leadership Team training.

The district and the City of Corpus Christi have developed a partnership in 2000 with the opening of the Janet F. Harte Public Library located on school property which serves as both the high school library and the city public library.

The Foundation for Educational Excellence was established in 2004 to support and enhance educational opportunities for the Flour Bluff ISD to continue as a leader and innovator in public education.
